Does Finding Dory show a lesbian couple? We asked the filmmakers

The debate over whether Finding Dory features Pixar’s first same-sex couple will not end.

After the release of Finding Dory’s latest trailer last month, there was rampant speculation that one scene featured a lesbian couple, which would be a first both for Pixar and its parent company Disney. The internet went nuts.

We asked Finding Dory director Andrew Stanton at Wednesday’s world premiere if the couple depicted onscreen are indeed lesbians. He neither confirm nor denied the idea.

“They can be whatever you want them to be,” said Stanton. “There’s no right or wrong answer.”

“We never asked them,” added producer Lindsey Collins.
